Apple Jax Chagrin Falls moved to this Peninsula location. It's a larger store with more expansive inventory. It's located in a house-looking building, which makes it more homey. It's definitely a more cozy vibe than Lakewood or Tower City Pop-up locations. Big kid at heart, I wandered into the store during a local festival. The store impressed me with a wide selection. You probably won't find these toys at big box retailers. They had nostalgic toys, table games, plush toys, magazines, and more. Check their social media for more information about the selection. The merchandise was suitable for all ages. Adults and children actively and excitedly interacted with the toys during my visit. So fun to see! If you're a collector looking for action figures, this is the place to be. There are large glass shelves with extensive choices. I was most impressed with Giga Pets (like tamagotchi), how nostalgic! Oh, and slinkies! No parking available onsite. Look for parking in the area at designated spots. This can be a little tricky during events, but this place is well worth the visit. I'll definitely be back to get some board games for nights with family! I'll also visit to buy gifts for my friends' kids. I feel like such unique things can be found here to impress any age! This place is a must visit!

This place is great if you're not sure what to get someone for a gift, there's so much creativity here and things you'd never think of looking for.

They've closed the basement level and are sorting through the large inventory, curating what's on the shelves, and selling most of the used books for only $1-2 apiece. There's no longer a cat there, which is a little sad, but it does feel like a healthier environment and no longer a deterrent for folks with a cat allergy. I'm excited to see what's ahead for this friendly local business.

I don't go "antiquing," in part because I refuse to transform that word into a verb, but mainly…read morebecause I'm not much of a collector. Somerville's, though, is worthy of a visit. Here's why: It is in the lower level of an historic building, in the "East Center" of Richfield, i.e. the geographical center. This was the main stagecoach stop between Cleveland and Akron, and this is in the original building. Geoff Somerville knows all this, but he rarely bores you with any of that stuff, choosing rather to find out where your interests lie and whether he might have something that you would like to take home with you. Somerville's has a whole bunch of stuff, rather casually displayed. Books. Housewares. Art. Some of it is really old, as in many hundreds of years, while much of what is on sale is "mid-century modern" for the Jetsons lover in all of us. I saw a great accordion, an amazing book on steam boilers (well, some of us have rather peculiar tastes) and some beautiful leaded glass signs. I think Richfield has become such a bedroom community that some of the unique flavor of the town has been swept under the rug. Somerville's survives as local color, with charm, grace and wit. Stop in, and let me know if you agree. On the north-west corner of Brecksville and Streetsboro Roads, Old Route 21 and 303, for those of us without GPS but still maintain a death grip on our Thomas' Guides.

Heart of downtown Peninsula alongside the river. Prices are a tad steep but there's many items to look at. Plan on spending 30-45 minutes in here or longer. Visa/Mc both accepted. Parking up front. Quick walk to restaurants, the tow path trail, the national park store and other shops and galleries. This building had been a general store from the 1920s-1960s, a barbershop and a post office. By the early 1960s the building, in near total disrepair, was nearly torn down to make a parking lot. Fortunately the historic store was saved before demolition began and restored by Robert Hunker.
